Zhang Qingyun now looked like a butterfly that had struggled out of a spider's web, and she looked a little lighter.
"Child, although you are young, what you said is true. It really woke me up. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be among the people who have been infected.
If that were the case, we mother and I wouldn't know what situation we'd be in now. Besides, you saved my son. I'll have someone send the medical fee over later.
However, my son hasn't woken up yet. Could you please wait for a while at the Jia family's house? Once he wakes up and is sure everything is fine, I can arrange a carriage to take you back, okay?"
Little Lingling was rarely lazy and nodded without refusing. However, before she could open her mouth, her stomach started to growl.
She lowered her head embarrassedly and rubbed her stomach with her hand. "Well, it's good, but I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning..."
Zhang Qingyun suddenly realized and apologized, "It's my fault. I arranged for someone to pick you up early in the morning and forgot about this.
"Tianzhi, hurry up, have the kitchen send some snacks over first, and have the kitchen staff quickly send breakfast. Make it richer, something that the children can digest more easily, and make more!"
Little Bell was not polite. She was so hungry that her stomach felt uncomfortable. She took an apple from the table and said, "Madam, can I have this?"
Zhang Qingyun was not unwilling. "Of course, they are all clean. Feel free to take whatever you want to eat. If there is not enough, we can ask someone to bring more."
Xiao Lingling smiled, took one and gave it to her senior brother, then sat aside and started eating a big apple.
Although it is not as big as the one in my own space, it is also big and sweet.
The two chatted casually, but after a while, the servant came to report.
"Madam, the Chen family and their husband and Young Master Chen have all arrived and are waiting in the flower hall in the front yard."
Zhang Qingyun sneered, "Finally, we're here!"
She stood up and walked quickly to the door. "The food will be delivered soon, so please feel free to eat. If it's not enough or not to your liking, you can ask them to change it at any time.
I'm going to the front yard to take care of something and will be back soon. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused."
Little Bell nodded while eating snacks, looking quite comfortable. "Yes, Auntie, go ahead and do your work. We are here to take care of you."
Zhang Qingyun smiled, turned around and strode out, his aura becoming more fierce.
Little Bell watched with great interest, feeling it was a pity and wishing she could go and take a look.
Xu Xiuyuan had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing her in a daze, he poked her cheek and said, "Junior sister, aren't you hungry? Here, this peach blossom pastry is pretty good. Try it."
Little Bell took his hand and took a big bite.
In the flower hall, a family of three was looking around happily. Although this was not the first time they came to the Jia family, this time was different.
From now on, their sister will be the head of the family. They will have a share in the huge Jia Mansion in the future. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Even Chen Zi'ang looked rebellious, but he came to see an important person today.
From now on, he will be able to go to the provincial capital to study. If he goes to Qingshan Academy, won’t his bright future be within his grasp?
But at this moment, he was thinking about how to make the Jia Mansion his own when he became an official in the future.
The three of them were happily daydreaming when they heard footsteps and subconsciously turned around to look. The moment they saw the person coming, they were stunned.
Zhang Qingyun looked at their expressions and knew what they were talking about. She sneered, "Why? Are you surprised to see me?
Are you wondering why I am still alive?"
Zhang Qingyun's voice was so cold that it made the three of them feel a chill down their spines.
Chen Zhuang bravely asked, "Madam, what do you mean? Where is my sister? Didn't she say that my sister invited us here?"
Zhang Qingyun sat upright in the main seat, his eyes sweeping over the three of them with a playful look, "If I hadn't said this, how could you be willing to come?
But don't worry, it won't be long before you can meet Aunt Chen, but before that, I still have some questions to ask.
As long as you answer to my satisfaction, I will let you meet. Now, let's begin.
First question, did you give Chen Shuang'er the poison?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhuang's legs went weak and he fell directly into the chair.
The fact that she asked this meant that her sister’s plan had failed!
There is no need to think about the consequences. His sister will definitely not be saved. However, he cannot acknowledge her, otherwise, his entire family will be dragged down.
Chen Zhuang's face was frozen. "Madam, what do you mean? What kind of poison? Why don't we understand?"
Chen Zhuang's mental state was still okay, but Jiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. Even Chen Zi'ang was sweating profusely and didn't dare to look at Zhang Qingyun at all.
Zhang Qingyun didn't waste any words and clapped his hands. A team of servants came up carrying thick wooden boards.
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you. That poison is no ordinary poison. Its origin is well documented. I just don't want to waste time.
Will you answer me obediently or wait for me to use lynching? Think it over before you speak.
That woman dared to attack my son. I will take your family of three with me even if it means sacrificing my entire fortune and even my life.
If you do the math, I'm not at a loss.
So, if you tell me the truth, there might still be a chance of survival.
If you still want to deceive me, then see if you can walk out of here alive!
You only have one stick of incense to answer. If you don't get the answer I want in one stick of incense, call me!
Until you get hit!"
After saying that, Zhang Qingyun turned around and was about to leave, which scared Chen Zhuang and the other two.
Each of those servants was tall and strong, and the boards in their hands were thick and big. If a fight really broke out, they would only suffer.
Moreover, although they are greedy, they are not very courageous, so they only dare to instigate behind the scenes and never dare to come to the door.
Therefore, before Zhang Qingyun even walked out of the flower hall, the three of them had already vomited out of fear.
Once the door is opened, everything that happens afterwards cannot be hidden.
Zhang Qingyun had the three people detained and interrogated separately. After a while, three confessions were delivered to her.
After reading this, Zhang Qingyun was so angry that her teeth were itching.
In the past one or two years, both the Chen family and Chen Shuang'er have been relying on the power of the Jia family to do evil things.
He even stole a lot of things from the Jia Mansion to show off.
In order to get rid of the problem once and for all, they even set fires, poisoned people, and did all kinds of evil.
Zhang Qingyun quickly ordered the three confessions and the four people to be escorted to the yamen.
County Magistrate Wu always follows the rules. These people naturally have their destinations, and she doesn't want to dirty her hands.
